    uniE603 Different Kind Of Trap - The Streets & nineteen97
    I produced the dance/electronic single “Different Kind of Trap” by The Streets & nineteen97, blending nostalgic rave influences from the mid-00s with a modern twist. Crafted at 140 BPM in the key of Dm, the track features a gritty, dirty razor synth as the main sound, complemented by a dark, rumbling bass to create deep undertones. Drawing inspiration from old-school raves, I aimed to evoke that raw, underground energy while keeping the production clean and hard-hitting. music instrumental thestreets Electronic 140 LogicPro Rave
